Montmorency Park - Montmorency (VIC)

Carrie Lim Open every Sunday and Wednesday only during the school holiday. Check the availability from the official website. Lots of fun for all ages. Salute and appreciate very much to all the volunteers managing and maintaining all these beautiful miniature trains. They are all very helpful and friendly. Take extra miles to take care the under previledge. We took 2 rounds of the ride! Be prepared for the long queue for at least 30 minutes to 40 minutes! Other than the ride, there is a copper butterfly park for the kids. Noticed all the kids love the place so much. One can walk further to the creek for a nature walk and some garden bird watching.

Bhagesh Chauhan This place is well maintained by the club. Nice facilities provided to the young players and keeps them motivated to come to the field. Canteen and restrooms are well maintained. Got BBQ options so if it’s nice and sunny you can have nice BBQ. Parking could be an issue as I don’t see much space there for the parking and most of the people have their cars parked on the nature strip.

George from In Focus healing and wellness clinic This is a great family destination for both young and big kids. The mini train is always an enjoyable experience, and the volunteers do an amazing job!

Scott Taylor Quite and scenic park. Home to eastern grey kangaroos and native birds. I’ve seen wombats and echidna’s here however this is rare. Swampy area with many frog species. Beautiful bird song. Area accessible by walking track.

Mahshid Sadri Very nice and peaceful reserve. You can see kangaroos and rabbits everywhere

Jack Denney Really good playground and green space next to a sports oval (where people frequently walk dogs). There is: a big sandpit with a water spout, electric BBQ, drinking taps, small half court basketball hoop, exercise equipment, lots of parking, and several different playground apparatuses. The outstanding one for us is big vertical spinning wheel, so we call this the "hamster wheel playground". The only downside is the only restroom available is at the big sports club next to the grounds. They feel a bit far away for a little person in a rush, and Im worried they could be locked. Otherwise, this is a great playground.

Jesse Birch Love this place, a little wild sanctuary in the suburbs! Great to see emus, kangaroos, and a wealth of other wildlife... we even saw a powerful owl one day! Highly recommended for any lovers of nature, thanks to all staff for their dedication and upkeep ♥️

Jade Rosina McCutcheon Just my favourite walk ever. Seems to go for 4 or 5 klms. I came across it by accident, being new to Ballarat. Its just like taking a comfortable bush walk. No huge inclines or steps. Wide path, you can take your dog on a leash and bicycle along it as well. A very healing, relaxing thing to do.

Dinesh Chaudhary Jells Park is a fantastic place to unwind—plenty of space for running, walking, and just being in nature. Lots of play areas for kids too, so it’s perfect for families. There’s a café onsite, which is handy for grabbing a coffee, though the coffee itself could be better—but hey, at least there’s an option!
